SHIFT CONTROL METHOD FOR A HYBRID VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875651 titled 'SHIFT CONTROL METHOD FOR A HYBRID VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling the shift of a hybrid vehicle. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method determines if a kick-down shift request has been made.
- It identifies specific conditions for increasing input torque when the kick-down shift request is made.
- It compares the amount of torque increase with a reference value.
- Based on the comparison result, it controls the driving motor or auxiliary motor to output the additional torque increase.
Potential Applications:
- This method can be applied in hybrid vehicles to improve the shifting control system.
- It can be used in various types of hybrid vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or buses.
Problems Solved:
- The method solves the problem of efficiently controlling the shift of a hybrid vehicle when a kick-down shift request is made.
- It addresses the need for a reliable and accurate torque increase control system.
Benefits:
- The method provides a more precise and efficient control of the shift in hybrid vehicles.
- It improves the overall performance and responsiveness of the vehicle.
- It enhances the driving experience by ensuring smooth and seamless shifts.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shift control method for a hybrid vehicle includes: determining whether a request for a kick-down shift has been made; identifying predetermined input torque increase conditions when the kick-down shift request is made; comparing a predetermined input torque increase amount with a predetermined reference value when all of the input torque increase conditions are satisfied; and controlling a driving motor or an auxiliary motor to additionally output the input torque increase amount, based on the result of comparing the input torque increase amount with the reference value.
